Transcribed by Sloan Mason from several different sources: 1)Records of John R.

HOOTEN, Attorney; of Oriental, N.C.; J.C. HOOTEN of Grifton, N.C.- I have 

compared them with the HOOTEN bible records published by Bill Murphy in 

"Dobbs Co., N.C. Bible Records, Vol. III" and they seem to be very similar.
